Replace sequential brew install loops with xargs -P for parallel installation. Formulae default to 4 parallel jobs, casks to 2. Configurable via SETUP_PARALLEL_FORMULAE and SETUP_PARALLEL_CASKS env vars. Preserves skip-if-installed logic and error tracking. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Tests cover Brewfile parsing, font detection, parallel result collection, concurrent write safety, install helper success/failure paths, parallelism configuration via env vars, and the collect-then-install pattern. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Hey Marvin 👋 I emailed you about wanting to work at Netflix- I'm a great fit for multiple roles (UI & TV UI engineer). Shooting my shot here as well- love this project you're working on (would have been really helpful onboarding).
Summary
brew installwith parallel installation usingxargs -PSETUP_PARALLEL_FORMULAE), casks at 2x (SETUP_PARALLEL_CASKS)How it works
Instead of installing packages one-by-one in a while loop, the script now:
xargs -Pwith exported helper functionsExpected speedup: 40-60% on fresh installs with 30+ formulae.
